| The following chart is provided to help those studying our Kilap Hand Drill training method. With the chart the student can quickly recall which drills are atomic (fundamental to the others) and which are molecular (use and combine motions and movements taught in the atomic drills), which drills are asymmetrical, which are not, as well as which have no complement (no left side to match the right side), etc. Over time I hope expand both the content and functionality of this chart. |

| Notes: |  | Highlighted cells indicate those drills deemed absolutely critical for self-defense.
|
| | | Block-left and Block-right, Strike-left and Strike-right are hyphenated words because they are, at the same time, both nouns and verbs: they identify both what they are and describe what they do.
|
| | | The headers, Right [or Left] Punch / Elbow, indicate the blow that starts the drill.
|
| | | Six of the drills are asymmetrical, meaning they are practiced differently on each side.
|
| | | Drills 3 and 4 are practiced symmetrically (i.e. the same way on both sides).
|
| | | Two drills have no "left punch" complementing drill (indicated by the '--').
|
| | | Block-mode kilap drills 1 and 2, and strike-mode drills 6 and 7, are all drilled outside your partner's punch. In application, however, expect to use them inside the incoming blow, like KH #8.
|
| | | Any drill number listed in the class schedule followed by a plus-sign (i.e. 3+) indicates legwork (knees or kicks) is also employed in that day's drill. |
